EMM 3223 Mechanics of Machine & Vibration
Introduction
Kinematics
• Study of geometry of motion, to determine displacement, velocity,
acceleration and time without considering the forces causing the motion
Kinetics
• Study of the relation existing between the forces acting on a body,
body to
determine motion caused by given forces or determine forces required to
produce a given motion.
Ri id body
Rigid b d
• A body is said to be rigid when distance between any two points on it
remains constant under the action of forces.
Resistant body
• A body which does not suffer any distortion or physical change due to
application of force.

Machine
• A mechanism or combination of mechanism which transmit motion and
significant energy.

Example:
When slider crank mechanism is used as an automobile engineg with the addition of
valve mechanism, it converts chemical energy (force on the piston due to
combustion) to kinetic energy (torque of the crank shaft).
• Reciprocating pumps,
pumps reciprocating compressors and steam engines are examples
of machines derived from slider crank mechanism.
• Therefore, mechanism is the fundamental unit and one needs know the basic

Types of motion
Pure rotation
• Rotation about axis perpendicular to the plane.
• A rigid body in rotation possesses one point of rotation (center of rotation) and
other points forms arcs about the center.

Pure translation
• Translational motion along two perpendicular axes on the plane.
• All points on the rigid body in pure translation form parallel (curvilinear or
rectilinear) paths.

Degree of Freedom
• Number of independent parameters required to define position of a rigid body in
space at any instant.
• Defined with respect to selected frame of reference.

Example:
A rigid body moving in space possesses 6 degree of freedom (6 DOF)
• Translational motions along three mutually perpendicular axes x, y,and z
• Rotational motions about these axes

Degree of Freedom-cont…
Example:
A pencil lying on a flat piece of paper with x and y coordinates axes possesses 3
DOF
• Translational motions along x and y axes
• Rotational motion about z axes

• Connection of one rigid body to another imposes certain constraints to their


relative motion, thus reducing number of DOF.

LESSON 1
EMM 3223 Mechanics of Machine & Vibration
Link
• A resistant body or group of resistant bodies with rigid connections preventing
their relative movement is known as a link.
OR
• A resistant body which possesses at least two nodes, that are points for
attachment/connection to other resistant body/bodies, is known as a link.
• Also known as kinematic link.
• In mechanism, three types of links exist ; rigid link, flexible link and fluid link.
• Rigid link can be classified as binary, ternary and quaternary link.

Kinematic Pair/Joint
• A Joint (Kinematic pair) is a connection between two or more link (at their
nodes), which allows some motion, or potential motion, between the connected
links.
• Can be classified according to nature of contact, nature of mechanical constraints
and nature of relative motion (DOF).
Nature of contact
Lower Pair
• Joints with surface or area contact while in motion.
• The contact surfaces are similar.
• Relative motion in a lower pair is either purely turning or sliding.

Example:
Shaft rotating in a journal bearing, automobile steering, universal joint, all pairs of
slider-crank mechanism
